Run for Diabetes 2012

Hi everyone. Here is a small letter I have sent to some explaining why I am running the 2012 Run for Diabetes on September 3rd.
Hi Everyone
While most of you will be enjoying the September long weekend at the cottage or in your back yard!
I will be running the Run for Diabetes 2012 The North West Company Half Marathon on September 3rd. This run will be in support of my son Colin that has Type 1 Diabetes.
It has been just over a year now since Colin was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. The year has been smooth and for an eleven year old kid Colin is showing tremendous strength and resilience. He receives insulin 3 times a day and has even started to self administer the needles.
Colin however does go through some periods of "Why Me". He has always been a healthy child and is active and looks after himself. He sees his twin and older brother with no issues and sometimes struggles wondering why he was chosen to be the child with "health issues." This is tough for a kid. Strangely enough of my three children Colin has always been best suited to coping and dealing with challenges.
This year Colin will continue to play competitive basketball and soccer and run track. Diabetes does not stop kids from being active it just requires new routines and awareness of when your body needs insulin or sugar.
For the most part as a family we have helped Colin lead a normal life and have controlled his blood sugar levels properly. Sometimes we do miscalculate and his numbers either go down or up substantially. We have been blessed and lucky that this first year has gone so smoothly. That being said Jackie and I still wake up every morning and check to see that he is breathing normally and not in a Diabetic Coma (when the blood sugar dips very low over night). Every morning we go into his room watch his breathing and breath a sigh of relief. While giving insulin is some what mathematical the body is constantly changing. We are always vigilant about Colin's growing and changes and hope our calculations are correct.

Thanks for your time and I hope you can support my run this September. If you are unable to pledge online I would gladly come by and pick up your donation.

Some facts about Diabetes

Over 300,000 Canadians live with type 1 diabetes.

The incidence rate of type 1 diabetes is rising by three to five per cent in Canada; the greatest rise occurs in five to nine year olds.

Living with type 1 diabetes requires approximately 1,460 needles a year (based on four injections per day) and 2,190 finger pokes a year to test blood sugar levels.

The World Health Organization indicates five to ten per cent of a nation’s health budget is spent on diabetes.

Diabetes and its complications cost the Canadian economy more than $17.4 billion a year.

I come from a country where cricket is more than a mere sports. In India, cricketer WASIM AKRAM, even being a part of our arch rivals in the sports is great ambassador for a person which has not allowed diabetes to come in his way to become one of the greatest legend of the game and that too a fast bowler.
